To be fair, Josemex, my friend's thoughts were heresay.... he's lived in LA and has been removed from "insider" info for about 2 years.

coplatlrd, as observation: using COPA, Azteca, and CO, one could possibly ticket SCL--PTY--MEX on CM, MEX-LRD on ZE (Azteca), and LRD--IAH--HNL and back for a 35K award.... and LRD would be very much on the route, i.e. eligible as a stopover.

I really wish Azteca flew from MTY or Nuveo Laredo so I could get a 20K award ticket instead of 35K for the extra 4 miles north of the river to LRD.
